Tight rooms, big challenges—and even bigger opportunities!

In this episode, I share lessons from years of teaching yoga in spaces that may have seemed too small on paper but that turned out to be perfectly intimate in practice.

You’ll hear my go-to strategies for mat arrangements, movement economy, managing props, and creating a powerful group energy, even when everyone’s elbow-to-elbow. Plus, I offer a fresh perspective on the hidden gifts that small spaces bring to your teaching practice.

If you’re working in gyms, multipurpose rooms, or cozy studios, this episode will help you turn limitations into teaching strengths.
